As we all know, cupcakes are great for parties. Reduce a bit of waste and make a fun tweak on the concept by baking the cake in ice cream cones. Kid craft weblog Kiboomu shares the instructions: Prepare your cake batter as normal and add ¼ cup to ⅔ cup of batter into each cone. Place the cones in the muffin tin and bake at 350-degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or so.

After the cupcakes cool, add frosting and whatever ice-cream toppings you like that will work. This works great for kid parties and can liven up routine potlucks or office birthdays.
